ABOUT ZAE
After Zaelyna Beck earned her Bachelor’s in writing, music, and psychology through Southern CT State, she jumped aboard several television productions and live events on a multi-city quest across the U.S. Her extensive background on hit shows for ABC, Freeform, and Disney+ led to her latest role as a Writers' Assistant. She's currently developing original pilots while seeking representation and staffing opportunities.
From an imagination forged by her rural upbringing, Zae crafts stories about quirky, independent characters in formed-family dynamics. Often geared toward a young adult demographic, her writing carries a dark yet whimsical sense of humor and frequently blends fantasy, scifi, or other speculative elements. Her goal is to foster more inclusive content across neurotypes, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds.
One of Zae’s latest pilots, AWAKENING, made Semifinalist with WeScreenplay’s Diverse Voices.
